Cal. Code Regs. tit. 16 § 4120

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024
Section 4120 - Renewal of License - Forms
(a) The term of a license shall be two years.
(1) Unless renewed, a license issued by the board shall expire at 12 midnight on the last day of the holder's birth month during an odd year if the licensee was born in an odd year or during an even year, if the licensee was born in an even year. The initial license fee shall be prorated from the month of issuance based on the holder's birth month and birth year.
(2) To renew an unexpired license, the holder shall, before the time at which the license would otherwise expire, apply for renewal, pay the renewal fee, and certify that the licensee's representations on the renewal form are true, correct, and contain no material omissions of fact, signed under penalty of perjury.
(3) The renewal application shall include a statement specifying whether the licensee was convicted of a crime or disciplined by another public agency during the preceding renewal period, and whether the continuing competency requirements have been met if renewing in an active status.
(4) For a license that expires on or after July 1, 2010, as a condition of renewal, an applicant for renewal not previously fingerprinted by the board, or for whom a record of the submission of fingerprints no longer exists, is required to furnish to the Department of Justice, as directed by the board, a full set of fingerprints for the purpose of conducting a criminal history record check and to undergo a state and federal level criminal offender record information search conducted through the Department of Justice. Failure to submit a full set of fingerprints to the Department of Justice on or before the date required for renewal of a license is grounds for discipline by the board. It shall be certified on the renewal form whether the fingerprints have been submitted. This requirement is waived if the license is renewed in an inactive status, or the licensee is actively serving in the military outside the country.
(5) An inactive license may be renewed.
(6) Failure to provide all of the information required by this section renders any application for renewal incomplete and not eligible for renewal.
(b) A limited permit cannot be renewed.
